Greg Hardy suffers minor rib strain

[Stash]

This might make a lot of posters mad at me (if they are not already)...but, Hardy is going to be one of my favorite free agent signings this season. QB's are going to feel the heat...hopefully starting with that punk, Brady!

I was thinking about buying his jersey but they seem hard to find...

I'd be fine with letting him. When exactly does that happen. It's been 'next week' since they signed him!

If he can't stay on the field now - running against air! - why would I expect that he'll be available when the team truly needs him?

The guy hasn't played football for 6 months and he still manages to be injured. The adage is simple but true. You can't help the club in the tub. And the most important ability is AVAILability.

I view this team as a championship contender. But a contender that needs to find some answers for a key departure at running back. Thus far, McFadden has brought only more questions.

McFadden's situation since he's arrived has been both frustrating and concerning.

If you have followed Coach Garrett's philosophy since he became the HC...he is limiting any player during camp to not over work themselves and to get ready and healthy for the season. McFadden is not some rookie, he's played the game, so if they need to baby sit him for a while during training camp, so what?

And, don't get frustrated or concerned so early...let the season play out.

Are you serious...or just making fun of me?

I see it as more than that. This isn't a one-off that just happened to him. It's already the second hamstring issue he's dealing with since he's been here! And he also has a history of missing time with them. This is a pattern. It's not Hardy straining a rib muscle and gutting it out, it's a guy who has missed considerable time in his career continuing to do so. During the easiest part of an NFL player's job.

And, don't get frustrated or concerned so early...let the season play out.

I can't help it. I see the writing on the wall of this player not being able to be counted on. I would rather do something about it now while I have options and still can

Chris Johnson is now available, that might not be the case later. And teams may be willing to trade a running back now when everyone's healthy rather than when guys start to inevitably get hurt.

I worry a championship season might get detailed because we counted in a guy we shouldn't have.

No, I've looked! They're not very popular.

Of course for some people you may be effectively wearing a bullseye...

I'm going to tell you this just one more time!

Stop worrying! lol It's not good for you. But, I do understand your concerns. However, one "guy" does not make a team. Just like Murray did not just make the team better like last's year's team. And, you could be right that a trade or other pickup could come along.

I cant wait until McFadden runs for 2,800 yards this year and proves all you doubters wrong
